Yeah, because, as I said: the old T&C you agreed to probably include a clause where either party can unilaterally terminate the agreement for any reason, which they can then invoke.
So, when they terminate that old contract, it's based entirely on the terms of that old contract. You agreed to this up-front.
What's the alternative? Force companies to offer indefinite contracts?

I don't know where to draw the line, but if I buy a phone for $1000, I don't think the company should be able to change their terms of service on me the next day.
